After the abrupt retirement of Elijah Lagerfield, there was a big hole at running back for the San Jose SaberCats. At such an important decision, the general managers needed to bring in an impact player who was ready for the long haul. That player also needed to fit into the timeline of the rest of the team, young, but getting better every day. Cue Jerrod Canton.
The SaberCats entered the Season 11 NSFL Entry Draft with no picks in the first two rounds. Sitting nervously as they watched players come off the board, they held their breath that Canton would be there at the 18th pick. To the general managers good fortune, he was there at the pick and they snatched him up. Since there was an immediate hole at running back this season, Canton was not going to be sent back down to the DSFL, and would instead take the starting job right away.
The reason I see Canton becoming a breakout star is because of his work ethic and because of the position he is being placed in. Last season, Lagerfield finished 5th in league rushing and he wasn't really training hard. However, because of the heavy workload he got, he racked up the yards. This season, the SaberCats are going to lean on Canton to be a work horse, which bodes well for his yardage. What makes him a breakout candidate is Canton is getting better every day. He's going to keep working and soon enough he's going to tearing up opposing defences. Watch out for Canton to be in the rookie of the year conversation and keep track of his career, because he has all the makings of a star running back.

Kevin Fitzpatrick has a really good chance at breaking out this season and becoming a star. I picked him in fantasy based on the hopes that he would end up being a star this year and all the Outlaw's playoff hopes are contingent on him keeping up his development. He has been called a game manager for most of his career, playing with the greatest running back of all time and no help from his wide outs he has taken kind of a back seat. This season, the Outlaw's spent a lot of energy giving him more help and his continued development should make him a threat to have a really great season. He can do it all, he has a solid arm, solid accuracy, knows how to manage the game well, and what is probably the most underrated aspect of him is that he can really run for a QB to pick up first downs and avoid sacks. This is banking on both the Outlaw's and Fitzpatrick breaking out this year. While Fitzpatrick himself got a lot better, so did the weapons around him and I believe he will make a huge jump this year and start being in the conversation with the best QBs in the league

Logan Lejune was recently drafted into the DSFL by the Portland Pythons. As he wasn't in the league last season, he did not have any impact whatsoever. Unless Lejune comes in and has a negative impact, he qualifies as a breakout player. He might go from 0 impact to 0.1 impact units, but that is an improvement over last season. Jokes aside, Lejune should make a strong impact this upcoming season. I know he will be consistently updated because I am the one updating. He will quickly become a player with the ability to make an impact.
Lejune has good (at least for the DSFL) ratings in tackling, strength, and speed. For a linebacker in this sim, speed and strength are pretty much all you need. At 6'2, 240 lbs, Lejune has the size to dominate. (Does size actually matter?) I believe Lejune will record at least 70 tackles, and depending on how often the Pythons defense blitzes, 5 sacks. The Pythons had a really strong draft. Lejune should become a valuable piece as the Pythons chase a DSFL championship. Maybe Lejune doesn't have a strong season, but he most certainly is going to work hard enough to earn a strong season.

Nothing says breaking out more than making an immediate impact as soon as you touch the field. That’s what I expect from future star wide receiver Rylant Wright, who just today threw his hat into the ring...err...the DSFL and will be signed very shortly. The 6’3”, 210 pound kid from Syracuse, NY was a star at his hometown Syracuse University. He led the Orange to a 10-2 season and earned them a bowl appearance, something which is few and far between for the more basketball-centric school.
Wright looks to build upon his stellar NCAA career as he takes his talents to the DSFL. Where will he sign? I do not know right now, but he will be looking for a team that’s set to allow him to showcase his skills to build up draft stock for the real meat and potatoes here - the NSFL draft.
Since he has yet to play in a single game in either league, putting up any stat would be an improvement over all empty categories, but i expect Rylant Wright to do much more than that, and actually break out. He has the speed, the hands and the intelligence to be an immediate X-factor on whichever team he ends up with. Wherever he goes, opponents should know he’s bringing the “Wright stuff” with him, and should game plan accordingly.

Ok so 200 words on what player is going to break out. That's the thing, for as much as I enjoy fantasy football, I'm not very good at predicting who is going to break out. At least I don't think so because I don't follow individual players enough to know, also I am self-centered so all I care about in the NSFL is Verso L'Alto and honestly it's debatable whether or not he even "broke out" in the first place so I'm just going to talk about my player here. He's been top 3 in the league receptions every season, so there's not much more breaking out that can be done there. As far as yards and YPC, last season was his best, although he has somehow declined in touchdowns every season since his rookie season scoring 8, 4, 3, and 1 touchdowns in seasons 7, 8, 9, and 10 respectively. So, it can be argued that his best season was either his first (in which he won offensive rookie of the year) or S10 since he improved in total yards and YPC. If he were to answer honestly he'd say he would have broken out last season if it weren't for the Carter Bush trade. Yes, ok, it can be argued that it won us the championship, but he's starting to see all his friends regress into oblivion and knows that if he doesn't have a breakout season ASAP--he might never have one. And that would be unacceptable. Eventually, he's going to have to start looking after his own professional interests instead of his teams' all the time.
